@lunduke @Codeberg The #Codeberg article starts off talking about "far-right forces", but ends with "the fight against right-wing forces".

So are you fighting against just the far/extreme-right, or anyone on the right side of the political spectrum?

Not all right-wing supporters are evil and need to be "fought". Not all of them post horrible things online or spam/troll people. Some just have different views to those on the left, so I hope they're not on the receiving end of your "fight".

@tj Have you considered contributing your data to #Panoramax?

It's basically a #FOSS Mapillary, and you can setup your own instance if desired.

Is there an easy way to see a graph of a #hashtag's usage on #Mastodon over time?

For example, 6 months ago a particular hashtag was seeing 3 uses/day, whereas now it's seeing 25 uses/day.

There's an API method to get this data (https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/tags/#get), I just need to find a site that's been tracking this already...

Why do I see so many #Mastodon polls where one of the options is something along the lines of "Just show me the results"?

Polls have this ability built-in by default (there's a link under the poll to "View results" you can use without voting). Or is that an instance-specific feature?

@nix I read your post about this, and I have a suggestion...

Mention, and link to, @alternativeto's website. It's a great resource for finding #FOSS applications, especially as you can search for a proprietary app you're currently using, and then see FOSS alternatives you can try instead.
